Mish-Mash Monday

Oops. Here it is, MONDAY and I almost forgot about posting Mish Mash Monday! Let's get to it, shall we?

Let's see . . . my in-laws are visiting this week and we've had such a good time with them. Family is a blessing.

Tomorrow we are going to the rodeo in Houston. Shhhhhh . . . Don't tell my chickadees' teachers! Actually, they know because my kids were too excited about it to not tell their teachers.

We tried a new (to us) Mexican restaurant. La Mariposa. Yum. The pico left a little something to be desired, but everything else was excellent, so it didn't really matter. And, I must confess that I am a teensy bit particular about my pico. Cilantro, anyone?

And on an unrelated note (a-hem), I may not eat for the next three days. I'm just sayin'.

What is on Jubilee's cluttered kitchen table? I am so glad you asked.

-- A Styrofoam cup of ice water

-- My knitting basket

-- A board game, Ticket to Ride.

-- An empty box that used to house the heated foot massager that we will be taking back to the Wal-Marts on the morrow.

-- Elbows that belong to The Calm One and The Cruise Director. One is doing homework and the other is catching up on all his Words with Friends games. I bet you can guess which is which.

-- White out. It is sitting closer to the laptop than it is the homework pages. Hmmm . . . wonder how THAT is working out . . .

Verse of the Day

Hey there!

I recognize that all my blessings come from my Heavenly Father. I want to be sure to give Him joyful praise for who He is.
On this journey with me:
The Cruise Director (16),
The Affectionate One (14) and Whirling Dervish (13). That's right, all teenagers. Chocolate, prayers and lots of cherry coke appreciated.

Remember:

Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have the exact measure of the injustice and wrong which will be imposed on them, and these will continue till they have been resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they suppress. --Frederick Douglass

Men, whether great or small, are still but men, and men are dust. To trust in the many is folly, to rely upon the eminent few is madness; to depend upon the Lord alone is the only sanity.
